Prosthodontics: Reclaiming Your Smile, Function, and Confidence

What is Prosthodontics?

Prosthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment planning, rehabilitation, and maintenance of the oral function, comfort, appearance, and health of patients with clinical conditions associated with missing or deficient teeth and/or oral and maxillofacial tissues using biocompatible substitutes.

A Prosthodontist is a dental specialist who has completed an additional three years of advanced training beyond dental school, focusing on complex tooth and tissue replacement, cosmetic dentistry, and bite problems. They are the architects of your smile, skilled in restoring optimal oral health and aesthetics.

Our Comprehensive Prosthodontic Services Include:

Our practice offers a full spectrum of advanced prosthodontic treatments designed to address a wide range of oral health needs:

1. Dental Implants & Implant-Supported Restorations

The gold standard for replacing missing teeth, offering superior stability, longevity, and natural feel.

• Single Tooth Implants: Replace individual missing teeth without affecting adjacent healthy teeth.
• Multiple Tooth Implants: Support bridges or partial dentures for replacing several missing teeth.
• All-on-4™ / All-on-X Implants: Full arch rehabilitation with fixed, implant-supported prostheses, often in a single day.
• Implant-Supported Dentures: Provide unparalleled stability and comfort for denture wearers, eliminating slippage and improving chewing efficiency.

2. Crowns (Caps)

Custom-made restorations that cover a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance.

• Porcelain Crowns: Highly aesthetic, ideal for front teeth.
• Zirconia Crowns: Extremely durable and biocompatible, suitable for both front and back teeth.
• Porcelain Fused to Metal (PFM) Crowns: A strong and aesthetic option for various situations.

3. Dental Bridges (Fixed Partial Dentures)

Used to replace one or more missing teeth by spanning the gap and being anchored to adjacent natural teeth or implants.

• Traditional Bridges: Supported by crowns on adjacent teeth.
• Cantilever Bridges: Used when there are adjacent teeth on only one side of the gap.
• Maryland Bonded Bridges: A conservative option using "wings" bonded to the back of adjacent teeth.

4. Complete & Partial Dentures

Removable appliances to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues, custom-designed for comfort and function.

• Complete Dentures: For patients who have lost all their teeth in an arch.
• Partial Dentures: For patients missing some, but not all, of their teeth.
• Immediate Dentures: Placed immediately after tooth extraction.
• Overdentures: Supported by remaining natural teeth or dental implants for enhanced stability.

5. Porcelain Veneers

Thin, custom-made shells of porcelain bonded to the front surface of teeth to improve their color, shape, size, or length, correcting various cosmetic flaws.

6. Full Mouth Reconstruction & Rehabilitation

Comprehensive treatment plans for patients with complex dental problems, involving multiple prosthodontic procedures to restore optimal oral health and function.

7. TMJ Disorder Diagnosis & Treatment

Addressing issues related to the temporomandibular joint, which can cause pain, headaches, and difficulty chewing. Treatment may involve splints, bite adjustments, or other therapies.

8. Maxillofacial Prosthetics

Specialized prostheses for patients who have acquired or congenital defects of the head and neck region due to cancer, trauma, or birth defects. (e.g., obturators, ocular prostheses).

9. Esthetic Dentistry

Beyond just restoring function, we focus on creating beautiful, harmonious smiles through advanced cosmetic techniques.
